I too am curious about that. If I remember rightly, he's supposed to be on a hill, with a bunch of Yoshioka yojimbo.. but pages 10-11 didn't suggest that. Then again, it's been an awfully long time since I read the novel and we know Inoue isn't going page for page with his manga adaptation.

Oh and in response to your spoiler tag: that scene kind of shocked me. I wasn't sure who it was at first, but after reading over the chapter a second time, I was certain. I guess anyone is disposable in the wake of Musashi right now.

This is somewhat unrelated to the topic of 225 -- but I saw this and realised that I must have one:

Dear god they are churning this out FAST in the states. May 15th and caught up again?...Just, damn. I've read up to about 13 or so and own the first 5 volumes, still waiting for my store to stop being so damn lazy and fill in a few gaps. But yeah...
Anyways, is the shirt import only or is it a stateside release?

Love Is Vengeance.

My computer is broke so I had to wait until today (hoorah college lab) to see the new chapter and I must say that it is damn good. I like how Musashi wastes no time in attacking the leader and I can't wait until the next chapter.

My posts are better.

Wow, you can say that again, I honestly didn't even notice it was so short. I mean, it felt like it ended too soon and I wanted more as always, but I had no clue there were actually so few pages until I read your post, and even then I had to go check. =)

My posts are better.

Anyway, still wondering how this will play out, I don't think he can keep up this level of serenity for all of them; he's already arguably broken concentration on the last page, and Inoue may have left the door ajar for Ueda still.

This journey isn't ov--AARGH!

The spoiler tags don't seem to be working, so tread carefully around this post...

227 is out and it's another belter! A little longer in length this time (16 pages of glory), and with just as much style and grace as chapter 226. The two swords are gone, but Musashi's trance like state remains. I loved the way Inoue used different methods for Musashi's strikes.. I especially like page 11 =) Feckin' badass. No signs of Ueda getting up anytime soon. Maybe that gun of his will find its way into another Yoshioka's hands though...

A long time friend of mine, who actually introduced me to the life of Musashi, travelled from Calgary in Canada all the way to Maryland to spend a couple of hours with me at an Opeth concert. After a bunch of bullshit, including him missing his bus, getting kicked out of the gig for holding one of my beers (we was 2 days away from being 21) and me busting him back in there... well, words can't really do that kind of thing justice. So I gave him my copy as a small token of my gratitude -- and he was blown away. It was the least I could do after all that, man...
